Nestled in the centre of the Durmitor National Park and Mountain, the town of Žabljak is the perfect location for exploring the wildlife of the national park, the famous glacial Black Lake and the deepest canyon in Europe – Tara Canyon.

Durmitor National Park was one of the first three national parks in Montenegro and is home to the Durmitor Mountain range with over 45 limestone peaks reaching above 2,000m.

The majority of flora found in the park is endemic to Durmitor, and Europe’s last virgin black pine forest can be found here. Birds include peregrine falcon, golden eagle, three-toed woodpecker, goshawk, nutcracker, crested tit and ring ouzel, whilst mammals include grey wolf, brown bear and chamois.
